As the digital infrastructure industry prepares for ITW 2026, sustainability is no longer a side conversation – it’s at the center of how the industry is evolving.
This year, the Greener Data movement returns to ITW with one of the most anticipated ITW 2026 sustainability events: the Greener Data Exchange: Volume Three Launch Party.
Now in its fifth year, the Exchange has become a defining moment for data center sustainability at ITW, bringing together the people, ideas, and innovations shaping a more responsible digital future.

A Defining Sustainability Moment at ITW 2026
On Wednesday, May 20 from 5:30–7:00 PM, industry leaders from across the global digital infrastructure ecosystem will gather at the Riverview Ballroom & Terrace for an evening built around connection, collaboration, and progress.
More than a networking event, the Greener Data Exchange is where conversations turn into momentum – where sustainability leaders across data centers, fiber networks, subsea, and cloud come together to share what’s working and what’s next.
As demand for AI infrastructure accelerates – and with it, pressure on power, water, and resources – the importance of events like this continues to grow.
The Greener Data Book Launch: Volume Three
At the heart of this year’s Exchange is the official Greener Data book launch of Volume Three, the latest edition in the Amazon Best-Selling series.
This new volume reflects a shift happening across the industry:
From ambition to execution.
Featuring perspectives from global leaders, Greener Data: Volume Three explores how organizations are navigating the realities of scaling infrastructure sustainably, with a focus on:
- Energy as the new constraint for growth
- AI’s impact on infrastructure and sustainability
- Collaboration across operators, utilities, and policymakers
- The future workforce needed to support sustainable digital infrastructure
The launch at ITW 2026 marks the beginning of the next phase of the Greener Data journey—turning shared insights into collective action.
Where the Industry Moves Forward Together
International Telecoms Week has long been a cornerstone event for the global connectivity community. But within a week filled with meetings and announcements, the Greener Data Exchange offers something distinct:
A space dedicated to the future.
Here, the focus shifts from short-term wins to long-term impact – from individual company initiatives to industry-wide progress.
For those focused on data center sustainability at ITW, this is where the most meaningful conversations are happening.
